## For players who want unsettling science fiction

Frictional Games sets SOMA in PATHOS-II, an isolated underwater facility where the boundary between people and machines is becoming difficult to trust. Exploration and discoveries drive a story about consciousness and identity; this is not a combat-heavy power fantasy. When danger appears, the developer emphasizes evasion rather than fighting back.

The English-language Steam review category is **Overwhelmingly Positive** in the public store listing checked for this article. That is a user-review label, not a critic score or a guarantee that its style of horror will suit everyone.

## Safe Mode is worth knowing about

If enemy encounters are what put you off, [Frictional's explanation of Safe Mode](https://frictionalgames.com/2017-11-what-is-somas-safe-mode/) offers a useful buying consideration. Selected when starting a new game, it retains the creatures, puzzles and story while removing the threat of death from those encounters. It is not a new feature introduced by this sale.

Safe Mode does not turn SOMA into a gentle adventure: its disturbing atmosphere and themes remain. The developer's content warning includes strong horror, gore, violence, non-sexual nudity, references to suicide and strong language.

## Before you buy

Check your existing library first, then compare your computer with the store's current requirements—particularly if using a modern Mac. A supported-platform icon alone does not establish compatibility with every operating-system version. Buy only if the checkout still shows the expected US price.
